How do I charge my controller?

Not quite, but how do I know when it's done charging? Is there a light somewhere? Does it charge whenever it's plugged in or just when the PS3 is on? I've had this thing for how many months now and I still haven't figured it out. :lol:

Press the PS button and it will bring up the controller charging status. If it has full bars and isn't scrolling from right to left then it is done charging.

So the way to know if it's charged is to turn it on and check? Seems they could've done that a little better. Whatever, though.

While it is charging, the light will be blinking. When it never turns off, it is done charging

The red ones on top of it or is there a light on the PS3?

The red lights on the controller.

That's only if the controller is off. If you are charging while you are playing, the controller is fully charged when the red light on your controller is solid, not blinking.

Also, like DCL said on the XMB bar, there will be 3 bars for fully charged instead of the bars scrolling.

I like the PS3 controller better than the 360’s rechargeable battery pack, because it charges so much faster. It takes hours to recharge the 360 battery pack. However, the 360 has the PS3 controller beat in one aspect and that is the length of the cable.

I should get me one of those, I wouldn't mind playing with the wire in all the time.

Whoa. That sure is a low cost solution. Ok, the PS3 controller wins hands down. :notworthy:
